Nothing Changes

I saw this, and after having lunch with my former co-workers... I felt that this summed up their mood today...

The official repair of the leak damaged areas began this morning. After having the VP of construction come through yesterday - they've replaced all of the sheet rock in the bathroom from the floor up about a foot, they sprayed bleach in the walls to make sure that there isn't any mold growing, and finally sprayed under the tub for ants... as the little devils have made an appearance in our bathroom since the water has stopped being abundant. All of that completed before I needed to leave for lunch with my friends.

I was supposed to have my six month follow up with my surgeon today, but he had to go out of town - so they rescheduled me for May 28th. So I skipped over that and met the girls for lunch. One of the other ladies that was laid off met us as well, and everyone commented about how rested and relaxed we looked compaired to them. I guess in a way it was true... and we didn't have to rush back to that craziness either. We actually hung around another 20 minutes or so and chatted...

From there - I picked up John. His carpool partner's father was put in the hospital, and she needed to leave... which left him stranded there without a car. Since I was already out and about... I picked him up early, and we ran a couple of errands. We made 3 stops to get a few things we needed for my birthday get together on Saturday.

When we got home, I spent an hour or two up in my craft room working on my scrapbooking... I got three pages done in that time... am I slow? It sure doesn't feel like I get much done with my time, but everything looks good!!

With leftovers served for dinner - we're now catching up on a couple of shows that were recorded previously... and then off to bed to wake up to my last day in my 20's...

I'm so glad you are enjoying your work "vacation". Everyone needs a little downtime and after hearing about how horrible working there seemed to be, I'm actually glad they found the door for you, as I know how hard it is to leave on your own no matter how unhappy you are. I think God is just giving you a well needed and deserved break before you begin teaching!

Kim, Kim, Bo-bem-banana-fanna-fo-fem, me-mi-mim, kiiiiim! I think it is great that you are getting a chance to enjoy some time away from the daily grind. You will be back in it soon enough. Enjoy iy! XoXo...Jil

My Other Blogs

Kim

This blog is a look at life through my eyes: a woman trying to lose weight (weight loss surgery and no Trim Healthy Mama), MoyaMoya survivor (2 brain surgeries in summer 2014), infertility survivor, adoptive mother, homeschooler, Christian, and a woman on an amazing spiritual journey. Our incredible journey of faith led us to the adoption of our son in April '10... but also to a miracle pregnancy!

John

My partner in crime... and partner in life. A wonderful husband, provider, support system, and father. Loves Texas A&M football (okay, all sports), The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, fishing, gardening, cooking, and hanging out with his family.

James

Our son born in April '10, loves getting into everything - climbing - running - and has a great time doing it! James is always on the go and loves to be outside!

Tyler

Our son born in October '10... is also into everything! Tyler loves reading as much as climbing, and would sit most days and read with you all day long. He also loves to snuggle.

Allie

This lazy girl joined our family in 2012. She was an anniversary present for me, when John found her and adopted her. She is extremely patient with the boys, and we get a lot of joy & laughter at her expense.

Dixie

This wild child joined our family in 2013 after losing our Boston Terrier, Missy, at 15 years old. She was a stubborn ball of energy at first, but now she just lays around and snores.
